Examined relationship between maternal employment characteristics and father participation in child care by comparing trends in sample of 214 homemakers and employed women and sample of 139 professional women. Results indicated that, although husbands were more involved in child care when wives were employed, women were primary caregivers regardless of employment status. (Author/NB)
